Jun 26, 2008 Bottle shared by kmweaver. Nose of light, airy plum - very rich and true to the actual fruit - raw, fleshy, pulpy plum aroma, with a bit of whipped cream note as well. Medium bodied, sugary, raw, pulpy. Short notes, but a very, very good beer.

Jun 25, 2008 750mL bottle, courtesy of a trade from a while ago. Thanks!! Pours a medium amber color with some particulates; light tan head with patchy lacing. Red fruits (prunes, raisins), candy sugar, and pleasant yeastiness in the aroma; reasonably dry, with chewy dried fruits. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: relaxed carbonation; chewy dried fruits (prunes, raisins, dates), Belgian sugars, and some lingering sweetness throughout; basic, chewy fruit beer without a lot of stickiness; well-integrated. A touch flabby. Medium finish: breadiness, dried red fruits, and toasty malts.
